Question 1

Are these LTH or HTL?

Accepted Answer

These are HTL.  The BDA (bluray disk association) has a rule that manufactures are supposed to specifically say "LTH Type" on the package label if the disks are LTH (Verbatim seems good about that, but I'm not sure if all manufactures are).  So in theory, if it doesn't say LTH then it should be HTL.  The HTL are considered better and more long lasting.  LTH has been proven to be less reliable.  I think (am not sure) that another way to tell is:  If you are looking at verbatim disks and you see the logo "AZO" then it's probably HTL.  In some charts I saw of various verbatim media, AZO and LTH were always together.  In contrast, if you see "MABL" then you are probably looking at a better combination of materials.  MABL is an inorganic recording material which should last longer than organic dyes.  So... the fact that these disks (verbatim #98397) say "MABL" and do not say LTH means that these should be a long lasting medium.  I bought a 50 disc spindle of these... but haven't used them yet.

Question 2

i am not tech savvy at all, but since these discs are titled BD-R does that mean it will only play in some types of players? am referring to the whole dvd-r and dvd+r situation, where dvd+r was more popular then dvd-r as it played in more dvd players.

Accepted Answer

That's a good question. These BD-R discs can only be authored using a Blu-Ray burner, and if authored as a video disc, they will work in most Blu-Ray players. I haven't sent a ton of these out the door, but I've never heard any complaints.There was no BD-R vs BD+R war. There was a competing technology, but Blu-Ray was up against HD DVDs, which was a completely different technology. Somehow, Blu-Ray won quickly and we averted WW III of the tech industry. As far as I know, there is no such thing as a BD+R.I think you'll have good success with these discs.

Question 3

what are coasters?

Accepted Answer

When burning discs, "coasters" are discs that fail to burn.  Thus they are ruined and only suitable to use as table coasters.

Question 4

May I print some text or pictures on the disk surface using Inkjet Printer?

Accepted Answer

Not on these disks. There are others which allow you to do that. They have uniformly white surfaces. These disks do not. You CAN write on them with an indelible ink marker but that is it.
